About

What’s the fastest way to launch toys off of shelves and into the hands of eager, impressionable young consumers? Turning your toy franchise into a major motion picture, of course! Join Ben Paddon and Molly Alice Hoy as they boldly venture into the realm of “toyetic” cinema — movies that were conceived and produced solely to promote toys — and subject these glorified, feature-length commercials to a level of critical analysis that they were never intended to withstand.

Who Are We?

Ben Paddon is a writer, comedian and internet person living in Los Angeles. As well as this, Ben is the creator of PortsCenter, co-hosts the weekly stream The Antiquing Hour with Mikey Neumann, and co-wrote the 2008-09 YouTube sensation Boomer’s Day Off. He’s the British one.
